The source

Events it narrates

The Latin church's official catalogue of the saints, one entry per day per saint, in its 2004 editio typica altera. It is not the General Roman Calendar: it names thousands where the Calendar names about two hundred, and an entry in it obliges no celebration anywhere. That distinction is exactly why it needs its own source_id — citing unlyc-1969 for a Martyrology day claims a rank in the universal calendar that the saint does not have. The dates are facts and are used; the Latin text is copyrighted and is neither stored nor quoted at length.
